Scientists from the Fraunhofer ISE built a bifacial heterojunction solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 21.7% via rotary screen printing. They used a machine that is able to achieve a ...

Thick film paste is a suspension of a functional conductive phase, vehicle, binder and additives for solar metallization applications. Silver is the most common conductive filler used for front ...

An improved process for making solar cells could allow manufacturers to cut the amount of silicon needed in half. Since silicon can account for about three-quarters of the cost of conventional solar ...

An international research team has developed a metallization technique for TOPCon solar cells that can reportedly reduce silver usage in the devices’ rear side by 85%. The scientists replaced the ...

Screen printing is widely used for solar-cell metallization in today’s silicon solar cell production, providing superior cost benefits when compared to other methods. Although paste suppliers have ...
